 The
Margaret O’ Donnell Student Leadership Program gives merit
based scholarships each year to nearly 20 high school juniors who
have demonstrated outstanding leadership in school and in the community. The
Student Leadership Program is designed to encourage these promising
students to continue to develop and apply their diverse leadership
talents in ways that make the greatest difference. What they achieve
as a result is impressive and inspiring. The Student Leadership
Program has been a valued tradition from the City Club’s beginning.
Club members are a diverse group of leaders in business, law, charitable
organizations, the arts and many other professions. Many members
are active in civic and community affairs. The Student Leadership
Program was founded on the value Club members place on leadership
excellence .
The Margaret O’Donnell Student Leadership Awards are funded
by member, private and corporate donations. Each award nominee receives
a minimum of $1,000 and competes for the City Club’s top scholarship
awards, ranging from $10,000 - $40,000. Students are nominated by
their principals, teachers and staff.
 City
Club Student Leaders receive support through periodic events designed
for continued leadership development; college and career advice;
and valuable networking/relationship building. These events provide
students with the opportunity to gather information and ideas from
City Club members, Leadership Award alumni, and peer leaders.
